Rain on the roof 'n time on my hands,it sure seemed quiet out there'n radio land
They call me at the all-night station, make their special dedications
And I do my best to play their request, when it's a desperate situation
This was a desperate situation
I'm Mr. Midnight alone and blue
The brokenhearted call me up when they don't know what else to do
Every song is a reminder, of the love that they once knew
I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you?
"Caller on the line, could you please hold on?"
I recognized her voice the minute I picked up the phone
Should I tell her that it's me or leave it at a memory
Haven't been myself since the day she left and I'm never gonna be,
I'm forever gonna be
Mr. Midnight alone and blue
The brokenhearted call me up when they don't know what else to do
Every song is a reminder, of the love that they once knew
I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you?
Imagine my surprise when she spoke my name
She said could you tell him that I love him and I wish things could be the same?
Then a voice I never knew, said "Honey, who you talking to?" - Pause -
Mr. Midnight alone and blue
The brokenhearted call me up when they don't know what else to do
Every song is a reminder, of the love that they once knew
I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you?
If you play this song on a guitar only, then you should better play a standard
Even though this is a piano song, you can do a nice fingerpicking on the guitar
on it to make it sound like the original recording. This is what I figured out
Play this two times during the Intro and repeat it through the Fills and the
Outro.
Rain on the roof Time on my hands
Continue this type of fingerpicking throughout the rest of the song.
